畅销作家Rick Riordan介绍了纽约时报畅销作家Roshani Chokshi的奇幻冒险，灵感来自她成长过程中的伟大史诗。

被《时代》杂志评为100本最佳奇幻小说之一!

12岁的Aru Shah倾向于夸大事实以适应学校。当她的同学坐飞机去异国他乡与家人度假时，她将在家里度过她的秋假，在古印度艺术和文化博物馆，等待她妈妈从她最近的考古之旅归来。难怪阿鲁会编故事说自己是皇室成员，去巴黎旅行，还有自己的司机?

一天，三个同学出现在阿鲁的门口，发现她在说谎。他们不相信她所说的博物馆的巴拉多之灯是被诅咒的，他们也不相信阿鲁能证明这一点。只是一盏灯，阿鲁想。然后她就能摆脱困境再也不会撒谎了。

但点亮这盏灯会带来可怕的后果。她无意中释放了沉睡者，一个古老的恶魔，其职责是唤醒毁灭之神。她的同学和亲爱的妈妈被时间冻结了，阿鲁来拯救他们。

阻止恶魔的唯一方法是找到传说中的潘达瓦五兄弟的转世，印度教史诗《摩诃婆罗多》的主角，并通过死亡王国的旅程。但一个穿着蜘蛛侠睡衣的女孩怎么能做到这些呢?

《纽约时报》畅销书。

Best-selling author Rick Riordan introduces this fantasy adventure by New York Times best-selling author, Roshani Chokshi, inspired by the great epics she grew up on.

Named one of 100 Best Fantasy Books of All Time by Time magazine!

Twelve-year-old Aru Shah has a tendency to stretch the truth in order to fit in at school. While her classmates are jetting off to family vacations in exotic locales, she'll be spending her autumn break at home, in the Museum of Ancient Indian Art and Culture, waiting for her mom to return from her latest archeological trip. Is it any wonder that Aru makes up stories about being royalty, traveling to Paris, and having a chauffeur?

One day, three schoolmates show up at Aru's doorstep to catch her in a lie. They don't believe her claim that the museum's Lamp of Bharata is cursed, and they dare Aru to prove it. Just a quick light, Aru thinks. Then she can get herself out of this mess and never ever fib again.

But lighting the lamp has dire consequences. She unwittingly frees the Sleeper, an ancient demon whose duty it is to awaken the God of Destruction. Her classmates and beloved mother are frozen in time, and it's up to Aru to save them.

The only way to stop the demon is to find the reincarnations of the five legendary Pandava brothers, protagonists of the Hindu epic poem, the Mahabharata, and journey through the Kingdom of Death. But how is one girl in Spider-Man pajamas supposed to do all that?

A New York Times best-seller.
